I can’t believe I am one month away from the twins 1st
birthday. I know that so many people
warned me about how fast time flies, but this is seriously insane!
I am currently sitting in the nursery watching my babies,
who are not so little anymore. It is
bedtime and Greyson wants to play with his sister. They are laying in bed staring at each other
and laughing. The twin bond is so unreal
and so special. I am so happy to be
able to experience their special bond.
As I sit back and reflect on the past 11 months, I have so
many mixed emotions.
I am so happy that the babies are growing and they are
thriving. I am looking forward to them
being able to do more things and for all of the fun that we will have.
While I am so happy, I am also so sad that my babies aren’t
really babies anymore. The twins want to
be independent, they no longer want to be held and cuddled, they want to play
on the floor and explore. I can’t
believe how fast time has flown from my sweet little infants to 11 month olds
that have their own little agendas.
I am happy that we are finally able to sleep through the
night. The twins sleep through the night
for the most part. However, I truly miss
the one on one time that I used to have with them when they would wake up in
the middle of the night. I attempted to
cherish those moments while they were happening, but they ended so abruptly and
I’m sad that they are over.
Presently, I am so happy that they are beginning to explore
on their own. They have become curious
of the environment around them. I am
looking forward to baby proofing the house and chasing after them. It is an
easy way to squeeze in exercise, RIGHT?
The babies have been developing so fast. I can’t believe how much a baby develops in
just 11 months. I have listed a few of
their milestones below.
Teeth:
Greyson has 2
Reese has 0
Favorite Food:
Greyson- broccoli, bananas, peaches
Reese- blueberries, broccoli, peaches,
Sleep:
Greyson- about 10 hours
Reese- about 10 hours altogether (but she sometimes wakes
up in the middle of the night)….this secretly makes me happy because I can get one on one time and cuddles
Play:
Greyson: he likes to take all of the toys from Reese
Reese: she is already great about sharing. She lets her brother take her toys
Family:
Greyson: he is more of a momma’s boy. But, when he sees his sister for the first
time in the morning, his entire face lights up.
Reese: I think Greyson is her favorite person in the
house. She loves her brother so much.
I am truly enjoying this journey of motherhood. It has by far been the best experience of my
life. As I reflect back, I can
understand why people continue to have more and more children, this whole
growing up process is so emotional and it makes you want MORE! But we are very happy and satisfied with our
family of 4 and we plan on keeping it this way.
